RTW trip - route planning advice needed
Dear all,
Me and my wife are planning to go on a RTW trip next year on 2 motorcycles - we are on a ultra-tight budget, but hoping for a year of great fun. I would really appreciate some advice from more experienced bike travellers regarding a route we can take.
Star date: June 2013
Duration: 12 months
Starting point: Poland, Europe
Preferred trip segments:
- Poland -> Turkey -> ferry -> Egipt -> through East Coast -> South Africa
- through South America
- East Asia / South-East Asia -> Poland
We are about to start the detailed route planning, but would really need advice on sorting out the trip segments, so we will:
1. travel in good or moderate weather conditions (Central Asia from Oct to Apr will be probably tough, so will be Equatorial Africa around May)
2. be able to finish the trip in 12 months without extreme rush
3. minimise the costs of bike shipping/plane tickets (e.g. we thought about a possibility of yacht-hiking from South Africa to South America)
We are looking forward to your suggestions on how to make the trip segments fit together!
Best regards!
Szymon
